They look great GG, really lively.

The bases for the cultists look like they'll be fun too.

I really love what you did with the bases, this unit is going to look splendid when finished!

Those Night goblins are Great! The GG. Kinda shows how cool fantasy can be.

Thank you all. I need to go back to the park to get some more rocks before I can finish the unit's bases. Then I get to start sawing night goblins in half and lopping their heads off!

On a more 40K note, I need help deciding which Runtherd to count as which Platoon Commander. I've got 3 Runterherds to count as Chenkov and Al'Rahem. What do you thing?

A is haughty enough for Chenkov IMO; and if you turn the hook from C into a powered hook, you've got yourself a nice claw of the desert tiger for Al-Rahem

A defintly A

A and C, agree with commissar

That settles it!

Thanks Khaine, and Fatty and Runna. I've got Chenkov's unit blutac-ed together, but I'm having second thoughts on how I've equipped them.

Does anyone have a thought on switching out the HVY Flamer and Standard for anything else? Would a mortar be worth it?

Any tips on Al'Rahem's unit are welcome too. Thanks.

This isn't really an update, I just wanted to whine about the changes GW made to their Warhammer Fantasy Orc Boyz box. Bumping up the price while dropping content is absurd. So I'm not gonna follow to 8th edition, as much as I'm sure GW cares. I've decided to finish the using the bits that I have to get as close to what I want finished as possible, then I'm done. :(
.

On a more productive note I have finished gluing rocks to the bases for the Squig Catcher and Fungus Forager units for the cult, and I've settled on modeling the platoon command squads as personal staff of the commanders, as opposed to the grots being the head's of the different departments of the dinner and brewing company.

Bin a little while since I posted... been a while since I had the chance to work. My workspace is still all packed up in preparation for painting (which seems to get further away the closer we get on the calendar). But I had a flash of inspiration when I spotted a slab of plasticard in the corner and started working on this:
*pics edited*


The overall design is taken from Lord Dirk's Sawfish design. (which is based on the piranha for those of you that don't know it)
Here's a sketch I did for my version:


Basically a half sized troops transport for a unit of kommandos, replacing the tau drones with grots. The canopy is build already, too, but I will wait for paint to glue it on.

It feels good to be modeling again. I was having trouble getting use to being in school again and working. I think I've got the hang of it, but I still don't have too much time or money for modeling.

Anyhow, thanks for reading and please let me know what you think.

That's looking great GG!, Love the grot sticking his head out of the hatch... nice touch.

Hey, GG, is that grot head converted or does it come in kit? Great work by the way! And, thanks to you, I've maneged to get more work done on my orks! (You know where to go)

Hey looks good GG, glad you're finding some modelling time again.

Thanks

@Git: Yeah, it was a wonderful moment of inspiration. I'm just glad I could get that turret bit off the trukk.

It fits perfectly, the whole thing is held together (in the first two pics) by sheer pressure and luck. The plasticard body, the grot's turret and the kopta aren't glued together yet, they ended up just fitting together. (go figure)

@Matt: I think the grot head is from the stormboyz kit. There's one with goggles like that in the grot box, but it's screaming and a bit larger.

Also, glad I could help.

@Monkeytroll: Me too.

Looking good

Ok, but isn't the stormboyz kit metal?
In fact, that head looks sort of like the one in the biker box.... Just with a helmet/hat thing

The new stormboyz kit is plastic. Here's a pic of three of them, with the grot head I used at the bottom of the pic:(ps-not my work)

Again, not my work, but very well painted I think.

When did that come out?

Great looking stormboyz, very good stuff.

Really you didn't notice ?, they have been out for about a year iirc, they have deffinatly been out before summer 2009

Nope I didnt

Yeah, it's a petty cool looking kit.

Time to add them to my list of stuff for Da Blak Skulz

Looking good. Subscribed

More progress:

And thanks for the subscribe!

Sweet! Keep it rollin' TGG... lovin' the way this is going!

Kan't Wate ta see dis finished

Moar:

So, now I need to figure out how to make the "drone"-grot's turret/crader thing at the end of the wings.

I can hardly wait to add all the rivits to this thing... that's gonna take longer than the build lol

Ah, but it's going to be SO good when you're done!

Great stuff! Although I must admit, without those wings, I thought you were going for a boat of sorts, maybe an Orky variation on hydrofoils.

That is looking very sweet GG
